Description |
PACAP-38 (31-38) (human, chicken, mouse, ovine, porcine, rat) also called Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide-38 (31-38) (human, chicken, mouse, ovine, porcine, rat), is a PAC1 receptor activator and increases the α-secretase activity. PACAP-38 (31-38) (human, chicken, mouse, ovine, porcine, rat) elevates cytosolic Ca2+, increases proliferation and increases phosphorylation of extracellular regulates kinase (ERK) and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). PACAP-38 (31-38) (human, chicken, mouse, ovine, porcine, rat) demonstrates potent, efficacious, and sustained stimulatory effects on sympathetic neuronal NPY and catecholamine production. PACAP-38 (31-38) (human, chicken, mouse, ovine, porcine, rat) can be used for neurotrophic and neuroprotective research. |
